Default actual vs. requested: actual = consistent 2.5-3psi lower. thoughts?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/37814/boost.jpg"></center><p>Hi All,
Not a full 3rd gear run but perhaps enough to get some opinions (will be doing more logging in the coming week).

Two things: I'm investigating why I'm not peaking/hodling even requested as high as it used to be - - this has been the case ever since I received updated GIAC file.

But mainly for this post: I'm curious about my actual - - it's not dying off, but holding steady 2.5-3psi below requested. Seems like it should be a lot closer to requested? Would that still sound like a boost leak if it's not continuing to drop and drop as rpms and requested go up/stay constant?

TIA,
Per

Either a boost leak or a bad N75 valve. Most likely a leak though.

Default leakity leak. maybe with some sort of pcv/vac check valve.

long term fuel trims should be checked. block 032.

Default Welcome to the club! Looks like a boost leak. Log 118 to confirm - WG DC should be in high 90's

trying to compensate for the loss of pressure and if it's the case, you have a huge boost leak somewhere.

I can borrow you all the necesary pressure testing stuff. Let me know.

Default I'll do pressure test. Curious though: what has you leaning towards leak vs. n75?

..just a more common scenario?

Yep, and a bad N75 usually has a more sporratic curve than that.

Default My guess is a leak as well. This is what a healthy 115 log looks like.
